AP:

Russians fear passenger jet has crashed 4 minutes ago



MOSCOW - A Russian passenger jet with 170 people aboard disappeared from radar screens over Ukraine and probably crashed, an emergency official said. The RIA-Novosti news agency reported that wreckage was found on the ground in Ukraine.

The plane, on its way from the Black Sea resort of Anapa to St. Petersburg, disappeared from radar screens, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Yulia Stadnikova said.

The plane reportedly had sent a distress message.

Apparently there was a "mayday" before the plane went down so I'm guessing it was a mechanical failure of some sort.

Next to China, North Korea, and France, Russia is IslamoFascists best friend.

The ministry said helicopters circling the site about 45 km (30 miles) north of the regional town of Donetsk saw the Tu-154 in flames. Russia's Emergencies Ministry said 160 passengers and 10 crew were aboard the aircraft belonging to Pulkovo Airlines. http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2006-08-22T125826Z_01_L22157417_RTRUKOC_0_US-UKRAINE-CRASH.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

Well, they recently killed some of their Iraqi diplomats, the Beslan massacre, Chechyan rebels fighting there...so I think they are.
